Media Does this end the fighter pay talk for you?

[eternal403]

It's never been an issue for me as I've always understood this, but does this end the debate for you?

Epic rant by Dana. Fuck Oscar.

Hopefully not reposted.

I want to believe

 

[ShreddinMMA]

I just look at how other employers treat key workers who are involved in creating the product.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Fighter pay has never been an issue for anyone until they are standing on a platform Dana built for them

 

[Lights Out 101]

16% of revenue

 

[Carrotman23]

Only if your a moron . Talking about how Oscar fucks over his fighters has nothing to do with the fact the UFC allocates 16-20% of revenue(ya know what was revealed in the lawsuit) to fighters and when Dana White was asked about that by a reporter(after those pathetic soft ball questions from that Mac Life cuck) around the 10 minute mark he ducked the question and came up with excuses.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Nope. It actually makes me think Dana is an even bigger cheap jackass. Oscar is as well.

 

[PeterGriffin]

The irony of Dana calling someone else a liar... sometimes the comedy writes itself.

 

[FinalConflict2005]

Is this the face of a liar?

 

[Skarsgard]

Dana has no room to call anyone out for blow abuse or greed.

 

[Hardshins]

I know Dana is an elite level boxerciser but he needs to show some respect to Oscar. He's a shit head but he's still the golden boy and won titles in six different weight classes. It's weird that Dana is talking about how much he hates him.

 

[Kryptt]

This is Sherdaawg...a horse can never be dead enough.

 

[mb23100]

I never really cared in the first place.

 

[WhosTheBoss]

If fighters hate the pay, they should all move to bellator. They would be compensated better if they all banned together.

 

[IneedSometop]

Oscar being a complete shitbird doesn’t change the fact that the revenue split is drastically lower than other “major” sports. I don’t know what the UFC can feasibly pay and still get their piece of the pie but if they are willing to pay 16-20% they can probably go a few percentage points higher and still get their nut

These highlighted issues are not all mutually exclusive. Yeah Dana built the business, enhanced the sport and made the UFC the best. He still needs to pay his fighters more. Love Dana btw, he is very articulate, much less of a liar than he is accused of and actually cares more than people give him credit for. He can also spin shit with the best, and he needs to pay his fighters more, bottom line. Dana is in danger of losing fighters to other promotions just like he accuses De La Hoya of, even if what Dana says is true. Also not mutually exclusive, is my respect for Dana and the UFC,. and the need for fighters to get paid more. It is our business too Dana sorry. The fighters made it so.

 

[DestinedAussie]

16% of revenue

His point is pretty legit, go do it yourself and create the competition. While the UFC is the highest paid promotion by a distance in MMA as a business they have little reason too pay more.

It is clear from published numbers that UFC pay is increasing which is a good thing. Honestly nothing but competition paying more will change things. As a whole I think most UFC fighters are happy with pay and the ones speaking out are generally at the top of the card. I mean everyone wants more pay, but at the end of the day UFC seems to be able to make any fight it wants (unlike boxing).

 

[DebtCollectorMMA]

The UFC is what it is because of Dana

Had Dana and the UFC not existed fighters would be making even less . there's a reason why most choose the UFC with other options out there

 

[TARTARA]

When he says :
" You only know what I'm telling you ! "
He is all the money in the bank !
